  However, in the sewing airbag shown in Patent Documents 1 and 2, the shape of the airbag, the shape of the opening provided in the tether, and the like can be freely set, but there are the following problems. That is, there are problems such as an increase in the number of parts and work man-hours by joining a plurality of members by sewing, and an increase in bulkiness by using a sewing thread.

  On the other hand, the airbag of Patent Document 3 is formed by bag weaving, and can reduce the number of manufacturing steps and suppress bulkiness as compared with the airbags described in Patent Documents 1 and 2. However, since the inflation gas is circulated through the non-woven portion provided in the partition portion, the ventilation performance of the partition portion is inferior compared with an airbag provided with an opening in the partition portion.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides an airbag that can secure air permeability in a partition portion when the bag body portion is inflated and inflated, can suppress bulkiness, and is excellent in stowability. Objective.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the invention according to claim 1 is a bag body portion formed in a bag shape by a first outer wall portion and a second outer wall portion, the first outer wall portion and the second outer wall portion. And a partition portion that divides the interior of the bag body portion into a plurality of cells, and the first outer wall portion, the second outer wall portion, and the partition portion are integrally formed by bag weaving. In addition, the gist of the invention is that the partition is formed with an opening through which the inflation gas ejected from the inflator can flow.

  The invention according to claim 2 is summarized in that, in claim 1, the partition portion has a non-woven portion.

  The gist of the invention described in claim 3 is that, in claim 2, the non-woven portion is composed of only one of warp yarn and weft yarn.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in any one of the first to third aspects, the opening has a substantially rectangular shape, and one opposing two sides are the inner surface of the first outer wall portion and the second outer wall. The gist is to be located on the inner surface of each part.

According to the airbag of the present invention, the first outer wall portion, the second outer wall portion, and the partition portion are formed by bag weaving, and a plurality of the bag body portions formed in a bag shape by the first outer wall portion and the second outer wall portion are formed. An opening through which expansion gas can flow is formed in the partition section partitioned into cells. As a result, by changing specifications such as the number of formations, formation positions, shapes, and dimensions of the openings, it is possible to easily adjust the deployment speed, pressure, deployment thickness, and the like when the bag body portion expands. it can. Moreover, since it is integrally formed by bag weaving, it can reduce the number of manufacturing steps, suppress bulkiness, and has excellent storage properties as compared with a sewing airbag.
Moreover, when a partition part has a non-woven part, the site | part which is not a woven structure can be formed in a partition part, and it can be set as the partition part of a simple structure.
Furthermore, when the non-woven portion is composed of only one of the warp yarn and the weft yarn, the bulky property can be further suppressed and the air bag is excellent in storage property compared to the case where the non-woven portion is composed of the warp yarn and the weft yarn. It can be.
In addition, when the opening has a substantially rectangular shape and two opposing sides are located on the inner surface of the first outer wall portion and the inner surface of the second outer wall portion, the opening width in the thickness direction of the airbag is effectively used. Opening. Thereby, the opening width of the width direction of an airbag can be suppressed. As a result, the regulation of the thickness of the airbag can be made more reliable, and the connection strength between the partition portion, the first outer wall portion, and the second outer wall portion can be ensured.

  The items shown here are exemplary and illustrative of the embodiments of the present invention, and are the most effective and easy-to-understand explanations of the principles and conceptual features of the present invention. It is stated for the purpose of providing what seems to be. In this respect, it is not intended to illustrate the structural details of the present invention beyond what is necessary for a fundamental understanding of the present invention. It will be clear to those skilled in the art how it is actually implemented.

  The airbag which concerns on this embodiment is provided with the bag body part and the partition part. The airbag is stored around the seat of the vehicle. In this airbag, the inflating gas supplied from the inflator expands and inflates the bag body so as to fill a gap between the occupant and a vehicle component such as a steering wheel, steering column, door, or window when a vehicle crashes. And to protect the passengers.

  As long as the “bag body” is formed into a bag shape by the first outer wall portion and the second outer wall portion, the shape, size, etc. thereof are not particularly limited, and the body of the passenger protected by the airbag is not limited. It is appropriately selected according to the part, the storage position in the vehicle, and the like.

  The “first outer wall portion” and the “second outer wall portion” are integrally formed by bag weaving together with a partition portion described later. Specifically, in the airbag of the present invention, a fixed number of yarns are used, and the warp yarns arranged in parallel to the weaving direction, and the warp yarns can be crossed (usually orthogonally crossed). The weft threads are interlaced with each other. That is, the first outer wall portion and the second outer wall portion are formed by multiple weaving (bag weaving) that can be selected and woven so as to form a single weave or multiple weave structure for each predetermined region.

  Further, the surface of the bag body may be coated with chloroprene, silicone, urethane, polyamide, polyester, polyacryl, polyolefin, fluorine, chlorosulfonated polyethylene or the like. Good. By this coating treatment, the heat resistance of the bag body portion can be improved, or the air permeability of the bag body portion can be adjusted.

As long as the “partition part” is connected to the first outer wall part and the second outer wall part and partitions the inside of the bag body part into a plurality of cells, the shape, the number, and the like are not particularly limited. The partition is formed with an opening through which the inflation gas ejected from the inflator can flow. In addition, in the airbag of the present invention, the partition portion functions as a tether that regulates the flow of the inflation gas between cells and regulates the thickness of the airbag.
The said partition part can have a non-woven part, for example. This non-woven part can consist of only one of a warp yarn and a weft yarn, for example (see FIG. 5 etc.).
The said partition part can have a weaving part formed by weaving a warp yarn and a weft yarn, for example (for example, refer FIG. 11 etc.).

The shape, size, number, etc. of the “opening” are not particularly limited as long as the expansion gas ejected from the inflator can flow.
The shape of the opening may be, for example, a substantially rectangular shape (substantially rectangular or substantially square) (see, for example, FIGS. 5 and 11).
In addition, the opening has, for example, two opposing sides located on the inner surface of the first outer wall portion and the inner surface of the second outer wall portion (see, for example, FIGS. 2, 5, 7, etc.), or at least One opposing two sides can be positioned at the end of the non-woven portion (see, for example, FIGS. 2, 5, 7, and 11).

The “plurality of cells” is one in which the interior of the bag body is partitioned by the partition. The shape of the cell is not particularly limited, and is appropriately selected according to the vehicle type on which the airbag is mounted, the body part to be protected, and the like. Moreover, the thickness at the time of expansion | swelling of each cell is not specifically limited, It can adjust suitably for every cell as needed.
The number of cells formed is not particularly limited as long as it is a plurality of 2 or more, but is usually 2 to 5, more preferably 2 to 3.
The plurality of cells may be partitioned in any way, but can be formed continuously in the thickness direction of the airbag when deployed and inflated, or in a direction perpendicular to the direction, for example.

  Here, when a plurality of the partition portions are provided, the opening surface area of the opening provided in the partition portion provided at a position separated from the inflator is more than the opening surface area of the opening of the partition portion provided close to the inflator. Can also be set large (see, for example, FIG. 7). As a result, even if the inflating gas has reached the partition portion provided at a position spaced apart from the inflator and has reached the opening, it can easily flow through the opening. As a result, the airbag is deployed at a desired deployment speed. Because it can.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, a knee airbag (hereinafter simply referred to as an airbag) that is deployed between the steering column of the vehicle and the knee of the passenger is illustrated.
